"Oh," Rose's shoulders dropped due to disappointment.
Rose thought Alexander would understand her position in all of this and never ask anything of this from her. She couldn't be nice to Mathias anymore. She couldn't be stuck in a dreamland with Alexander, believing that Mathias would change now.
Mathias would only promise to give up on trying to kill her because Zayne captured him. As soon as Mathias was freed and well on his feet, who was to say he wouldn't come after her again?
"I can't do this. I do not like your choice and you do not like mine. You will always be my friend but if Mathias is freed today and he remains by your side then I cannot be near you. I don't want to see him. We are not the children from the past anymore," Rose said.
They all had to let go of those memories and accept that they had all changed.
